Land of Sichuan and Sichuan

panzhihua

Panzhihua, at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, is located at the southernmost tip of Sichuan, 614 kilometers from Chengdu in the north, 273 kilometers from Kunming in the south, and connected to Lijiang and Dali in the west. It is located in the central and southern section of the Panxi Rift Valley, which is an eroded and denuded mid-mountain hill.

Mountain valley landform; summer is long, four seasons are not distinct, and dry and rainy seasons are distinct.

Panzhihua City is the only city named after a flower in the country and enjoys the reputation of "a flower is a city and a city is a flower"; Panzhihua is the first city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, where the Jinsha River and the Yalong River meet; Panzhihua is a city in southern Sichuan

Xiangmen is the closest point from Sichuan to South Asia and Southeast Asia; Panzhihua is the only subtropical fruit production base in Sichuan, rich in mango, loquat, lotus, pomegranate, strawberry, cherry and other specialty fruits, with fresh fruits all year round.

This is a very, very good place.

The Tang Dynasty once again garrisoned a lot of troops, mainly to defend against Tubo and some mountain tribes. As Li Mingda bulldozed Tubo, those tribes also knew how much they were worth, and they were not going to continue to move in.

To avoid is to run out and surrender.

Yuchi Jingde was sent here by Li Mingda for the iron ore in Panzhihua, which contained a lot of titanium, which was very important. Naturally, Yuchi Jingde didn’t know. The Panzhihua area at this time was called Ningzhou. Yuchi Jingde led a group of craftsmen

A small number of troops came here.

There were many troops stationed here, especially the elite troops from Tubo. Yuchi Jingde felt a lot more at ease. All he had to do was follow Li Mingda's instructions and control the daily work and security here.

After Yuchi Jingde arrived, the local government officials were naturally as enthusiastic as above. The cabinet ministers under His Majesty the Ming Zun Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were only slightly less powerful than the previous prime ministers.

Although local officials were a little overly excited, their loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was unquestionable.

Yuchi Jingde is also a veteran. He is accustomed to local officials coming to flatter him and so on, and he has his own way of dealing with it.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Yuchi Jingde settled in Ningzhou Prefecture. With the coordination of officials from the local prefecture, he recruited some local people to start basic infrastructure construction work.

Ningzhou Prefecture has a garrison and naturally has an arsenal of weapons and a small number of craftsmen. They also used some iron ore in the early stage, but since they don't know how much the reserves are here, they only prepared a small amount for use in repairing weapons. Ningzhou

Local residents in the state capital also had iron ore with a small number of personnel. In this era, mining iron ore without permission was a crime of beheading. There were only a few blacksmith shops that collected, smelted and forged agricultural tools within the scope allowed by the government.

After Yuchi Jingde came over, Ningzhou locals naturally did not dare to arrange these shares. Once Yuchi Jingde found something, he would not be able to eat and carry around.

Yuchi Jingde also knew some of the situation. Naturally, the local Jin Yiwei also knew why they had not taken action. Yuchi Jingde could only think of two situations. The first is that he was bribed, and the second is that His Majesty Mingzun Holy Emperor

I don't think it's necessary.

Li Mingda naturally needs to have a thorough understanding of the situation in the three mining areas. Li Mingda also understands the local situation. The government's approach to the people who need farm tools is not bad. It does not exploit the people and even maintains a good order. Although there are some small things

If there is a problem, a reprimand will be enough. As for killing, the crime will not be punishable by death, and it will not be without merit. It is even said that replacing someone may not be able to maintain a good relationship between the local Han people and those tribesmen.

Li Mingda's internal policy has been changing. Killing is not the purpose. The purpose is that the people in the Tang Dynasty will live better in the future. Only when the people are rich, the Tang Dynasty will be richer. Only when the people are strong, the Tang Dynasty will be stronger.

Because the local people here in Ningzhou Prefecture have some understanding of some mines, the initial exploration and infrastructure construction went very smoothly, and the migrant workers became anxious quickly. After all, the money and food provided by Datang was very generous.

The craftsmen and workers were also divided into two waves. One group was naturally recruited from the local people, and they came with a lot of money. As for the corvee, there were some, but the corvee was not unpaid. In Mingzun Shengdi

Under the new policy, corvées must provide some money and solve people's basic food and clothing problems.

There are also prisoners escorted from nearby state capitals. Their jobs are worse than ordinary workers, and their living environment and food are similar. The difference lies in the wages and the degree of danger of the work.

The job of death row inmates is the most dangerous. They have to pay the price for their actions. The rest depends on the degree of the crime.

The mineral veins here are open-pit mines, so there is no need to dig wells or anything like that. To dig secretly, you only need to find a way to pull off the soil above.

The tools are all made of fine iron, and a strong steel drill makes it easier to pry open rocks. This was something that was unimaginable in the past. In the past, at most, it was just an iron head with some wood. In Li Mingda’s misplaced Panzhihua factory, the tools were

By the way, these things are all slightly graded from the quotas of which ships. Don't look at it as just a partial production quantity. According to the previous situation, the production volume is amazing.

Several people are working

The soldiers were responsible for the security guard work. These craftsmen were like ants moving, smashing down the rock fragments bit by bit, breaking them, moving them away, and then pushing them away on small carts.

The wheels of these small cars are all the specialties of Li Mingda in Panzhihua. They will never use human power to carry such inefficient things.

Yuchi Jingde came over every three days to check on the situation, and sometimes stayed at the site. After the basic veins were excavated, the craftsmen in Panzhihua also first cast some simple small blast furnaces and refined some accessories.

Facilities, such as some lightweight and small rails, trolleys, tools, etc.

After the production of these things is completed, some components for initial forging are smelted. For example, the ore grinding equipment no longer requires manpower. The power is driven by water conservancy, saving manpower, material and financial resources. Damaged parts only need to be replaced.

Looking at these large-scale water conservancy grinding equipment, as well as the laid kneels, small mine carts, and sturdy and durable mining picks, they all show their understanding of this era and their inability to keep up with the pace of the Mingzun Saint Emperor and the Tang Dynasty.

If you can't keep up, you will be given up. Yuchi Jingde, who knew this very well, began to humbly ask for advice and learn from the craftsmen who came to Panzhihua to build Panzhihua.

While Yuchi Jingde was working hard, in Ningzhou Mansion, in an ordinary wealthy family's house, a young woman looked up and looked in the direction of the Changan car.
